Underage

Calling all freaks! Here ye, hear ye: Tonight delivers unto us the first performance from an unexpected duo oftwo weird rock icons—guitarist/drummer Chris Brokaw (most known for prominent '90s slowcore act Codeine) and Alexander Hacke (core member of German industrial pioneers Einstürzende Neubauten)—who met while performing with prominent session drummer JR Robinson as Wrekmeister Harmonies. It's going to be an intimate-setting tour de strange, which could pull from a variety of experimental influences—the setcould sound likeanything, but preemptive geek-stasy is well-deserved for the possibilities of this brilliantly oddball combo. My longstanding band crush on local noise-punk openers Health Problems is regularly plastered across these pages, but with abrasive, arty punk this promising, more is never enough. The trio possesses an acute musicality and arresting energy that's as infectious as it is destabilizing. Please note that no advance tickets will be sold for this show, so plan to arrive punk-tually. Cairo, 8 pm, $10.
